Fun Monday – Food

Deb at Deb’s Dainty Needle Art is hosting this weeks Fun Monday. Thanks for hosting Deb! This week’s theme is Food. Direct from her blog comes the following:

“The mission: FOOD. We all eat it. We all have the kind we like and the kind we dislike. What are some of your favorite foods? Which food do you find disgusting? Have a recipe you want to share?”

This is very easy for me. I love all food except for a couple of things that I truly truly despise. Eggs and Liver. Other than that I will always try anything new at least once and generally always like it. There have been a couple, Pigs Feet, Aku (bluefin or Skipjack tuna) Belly, well I’m sure there are more but those two come to mind, that I have tried and didn’t mind but they aren’t on my list of favorites. Now don’t get me wrong. Eggs mixed in with things I don’t mind. It’s just eating them cooked anyway that just disgusts me. I just plain old don’t like the taste of them. And liver. Well it’s in a class all by itself. Everyone always tells me smother them with onions, bacon and/or ketchup and it’s great. Well to me if you do that your disguising the taste of it so why eat it in the first place. I have never seen anyone eat just a plain old slice of liver without anything on it and believe me it will never pass these lips. On the other hand, Pate’ I can eat and liverwurst. I love those. I guess they are mixed with other things. One thing that I must say here is that when I eat I like my food cold better than hot. I just prefer it that way. There are something things like a baked potato or pancakes that I like heated so the butter can melt but for the most part I like my food cold. When I go to a fast food joint I always ask for older fries. I can’t stand them coming out piping hot. Odd I know. As I say I’m easy to please. I’ll try anything at least once.

Have a great Fun Monday everyone.

Hey, it’s only my opinion.

  1. Not liking liver is normal. Liking old fries is just weird.

    well you know, IMHO!
    :-P

    I can’t think of a food I don’t like. I loooooove food — but chocolate, coffee and cheese top the list.

    • IMHO? Thinking thinking thinking…not coming up with anything…thinking thinking thinking…oh crap I give up. It ain’t weird. I don’t like burning the crap outta my mouth…not that there is crap in there but you get the drift LOL

  2. Will never try pigs feet, chicken feet, any feet. I know where those feet have been. And for the life of me, I don’t really see any meat worth eating even if I would.

    Liver is just gross. My cats used to sit next to me under the table cloth when it was liver night. I was better than David Copperfield at making the liver disappear under the table. I was thrilled when I learned what the function of the liver was and I could inform my mother that every bad/toxic thing that cow ever ate was filtered out of it’s blood in the liver – thus in my opinion – liver was toxic. She bought it because she never made me eat it after that. ( My dad, God rest him, loved liver – I think he had some kind of neurosis dealing with self punishment or something to like much less love liver)

    I do occasionally have an urge for a good liverwurst sandwich though – how odd. Never even tried pate.

  3. Must be the Hawaii climate that makes you prefere cold meals 8). I am with you regarding liver and weird stuff, but…old fries??

    • I love ‘em. I can even eat them after they have been put in the refrigerator. It might be but evn growing up I liked food cold. :)

  4. I don’t think there are too many foods
    I truly dislike, but some of them don’t inspire me to seek them out. One of my favorite foods is cottage cheese and gravy. Yum!

  5. Thanks for playing.
    I do like Cold pizza, but my fries must be at least warm.

  6. Yuck I don’t like liver either. Oh I love liverwurst with mayo and green pepper. I will try just about anything but I don’t like mushrooms (fungus as I call it) or black olives.

  7. I’m so with you on the disdain of liver! Ugh…the texture really gets to me, too.
    so if you aren’t fond of eggs I’d suggest you go to Voulas Offshore Cafe for lunch when you come to Seattle instead of breakfast!!

  8. I LOVE eggs! Not liver — I’ve know very few people who liked liver. I don’t care for cottage cheese (except in some dishes) or asparagus. There are probably more that I can’t think of.

  9. i have eaten raw chicken liver with just a pinch of salt and it wasn’t bad at all :)

  10. Another person who can’t stand eggs! The yolk is the thing that gets me. If I have an egg, I eat only the whites and give my dog the yolk–he thinks he’s lucky. I actually like liver a whole lot–cooked country style smothered in onions and cream gravy. Like eggs though, you should do a lot of thinking about it before eating.

    I love food too. I’ve never eaten liver, and I don’t intend to. I’m with you. If you have to do that much to it to make it taste good, then why bother? I like my fries piping hot though. That’s too funny that you ask for older fries.

  12. Well, I forgot about pigs feet. That would have to be on my list of foods that I DISLIKE!! Even the thoughts of trying pigs feet gags me.

    I usually eat my food cold too, only because by the time I serve my family and I finally get to sit down to join them, my food is cold. LOL!

    Happy Fun Monday Thom! Have a great week.

  13. Ooh, I wish I would’ve remembered to do this meme, I love food! Ummm I can’t leave any more comment because Danny is coming over in 5 minutes and I haven’t showered yet lol
